Section 294: A court may remand in prison custody

(1) Where the Court, after examining the reason for the arrest and for the request for remand in accordance with the provisions of Section 293 of this Act, is satisfied that there is probable cause to remand the suspect pending the receipt of a copy of the legal advice from the Attorney-General of the Federation and arraignment of the suspect before the appropriate court, as the case may be, may remand the suspect in custody.
(2) In considering whether "probable cause" has been established for the remand of a suspect pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, the court may take into consideration the following:
(a) the nature and seriousness of the alleged offence;
(b) reasonable grounds to suspect that the suspect has been involved in the commission of the alleged offence;
(c) reasonable grounds for believing that the suspect may abscond or commit further offence where he is not committed to custody; and
(d) any other circumstances of the case that justifies the request for remand.
